Limbo of the Lost developer finally defends itself (sort of)

It was the controversy that we perhaps should have cared about more but really didn't. A three man dev team called Majestic Studios got called out in the media because of allegations of lifting assets from a number of other games to use in their long-in-development adventure title Limbo of the Lost. The game's publisher, TriSynergy, quickly announced it was pulling the game from sale. Now GameSpot has posted up a statement reportedly from Majestic about the allegations.

Basically the statement is a tad wishy-washy. It doesn't admit to the allegations but it doesn't deny them either. Indeed the developer seems to put the fault of the situation on unnamed "sources external to the development team." Way to take responsiblity, guys. Just throw some unnamed external source under the bus. Maybe you should have done a little more QA on the product before you released it with all of those stolen art assets. They do claim to be "shocked and mortified" on what happened and will work with their respective publishers to fix the game.
